I frequently draw on my familiarity with psychology and behavior motives to ascertain what makes people and businesses tick and what they want to achieve—even if they haven’t quite figured that out themselves. As a candid communicator, I provide straight-forward and realistic guidance to help people and businesses make prudent decisions."
